VOTERS.

1t has seemed strange to US that
there should be SO much fighting
in the State Senate over the form
of the Constitut ional Amendment.
The Prohibitionists of the State
have been engaged in an active
canvass for years, agitating the
question of Constitutional Prohi-
bition, and they ought to know
what they want. Why not sub
nit it, if at all, just as they want
it? If they ask bread, why give
them a stone2 Why not com Q
down to the question, and meet 1t
like mem We have always honor
ed Mr.. Gilkeson, of the last House
of Delegates, for the manly though
wrong position he took, when he
stated on the floor of the House
that he proposed to assist in voting
down all dilatory motions and
amendments,-that he was opposed
to the Amendment and was not
afraid to vote on the merits of the
question, and eDaated to meet 1t
squarely. Our friends in the SEN
ate have been patient-have given
the utmost opportunity for offer
ing amendments, discussions and
suggestions; and that is right. But
too much time has been consumed
by the opposition. 1t has been
only too apparent that they are
seeking to accomplish indirectly
what they cannot directly. The
friends of Constitutional Prohibi-
ton are many in the State. and
thev are in all parties. The form
of the Amendment has been print.
ed on the thousands of petitions
that have been signed, and has
been read all over the State. That
is what they want. Let them
have it.

The editor of this paper has been
at Charleston now for two long
weeks, battling with all his mig ut
to secure the submission Of the
Amendment. 1t has been pleas
ant duty to 60 in and out among
the friends of the Amendment, to
consult with them, and to do for
them whatever was possible, In
endeavoring to secure favorable
action.
The representatives of the liquor
traffic have been there in force,
too, pleading for their business
and struggling for the perpetual
ton of their work of death.

Slow PulveriZing.

Why should not the law step in
and curb the vicious and danger

only case of terrible accident oc-

Yes, the State has duty. Citi-
zens are the State, therefore citi-
zens have a duty. All the citizens
are the State and one has as much
voice as another. Too many, in
thickly populated communities
the majority, stubbornly refuse to
act or speak for duty and as minor
tiles seldom rule, the delay and
difficulty is apparent. Social rev.
olutions work slowly,-Marietto

Yes, "citizens have a duty"
But they must wait till "public
sentiment is educated" wait till
it won't hurt "my party" wait fer

Guilty is indeed apparent, when
newspapers claiming to be great
moral engines, like the Blade and
Register, that are ever shouting,
"Pulverize the Rum Power !"
nevertheless "stick to their party"
while that party is trucking to
the Rum Power, and is 30 afraid
of being pulverized by it, that It
dares not lift hand against it.

THURSDAY, JAN. II.

House Joint Resolution No. 1
coming up as unfinished business,
the question was on Mr.. Flournoy's
Amendment to insert ''on and after
the first day of January, $780,"
On this amendment the discus
sion took wide range, and was
participated in by Senators Flour.
noy, Price PRESIDENT, Van Pelt,
Unger, Switzer, Scott, Sommerville
and others in favor of Mr.. Flournoy's
amendment; and opposing it, by
Senators Morris, Dawson, Nc
Creery, Snyder, Arnold and others.
Pending thisAmendment, on mo,
ton the Resolution was made the
special order for Friday at / a. m.
The friends of the measure were
at first disposed to accept this
amendment as it only gave the Liz
uor Traffic a few months longer
lease of life. But on investigation
they
DISCOVERED THE AMBUsCADE.
Eminent legal talent was con.
suited, when it was found that the
weight of opinion was that this
provision, making the Amendment
go into force at a future day would
render it unconstitutional and
void, and for this reason the fight
must be renewed to maintain the
resolution in its integrity.
HE STRUGGLE RENEWED, AND ENDS
INA DRAWN BATTLE.
At II a. m., the special order was
again called for, and the discussion
OF Mr.. Flournoy's amendment fix
ing the time for Prohibition to 60
into effect, at Jan. l, 1890, was re-
sumed and carried on vigorously
till the joint session for electing
Senator, and continued again In
the afternoon session.
Wearied with the delay, and be-
lieving there were enough friends
OF the measure present to defeat the
amendment, Notwithstanding the
absence of three of its advocates,
Mr.. Carr moved the previous ques-
ton and the yeas and nays were
ordered.
A SURPRISE AND REVERSE.
The dyes and Noes being called
on Mr.. Flournoy's amendment, the
friends of the Resolution were sad
ly surprised to find it had prevail

A TELEGRAM in Sunday g HERALD con
veyed the information that the Knight.
OF Labor were about to initiate a life
insurance scheme. They will be wise il
they do this. People have wondered
what there was in the knights organi-
cation to keep it together. 1t is pretty
generally regarded as huge "strik-
ing" machine, and so far as its opera.
tons are concerned this impression
seems to be well founded. If the So
ciety will introduce a mutual benefit
insurance feature it will have some ex-
cuse for existence. One of the best of
the poor mems societies is that known
as the Ancient Order of United Work
men, and its chief, almost only feature,
is the insurance. By system of small
annual dues and light assessments, a
sum of money is provided for the
family of the member who dies. If the
Knights will adopt a similar scheme,
they will be able to do some good for
each other, which they do not seem to
be doing now.

II WAS q woman who killed the
woman suffrage bill in New Hampshire
through her the measure being laughed
down. Mr.. Hazen. a member of the
House, was staunch temperance man,
and leader of the suffrage movement.
His wife was known to be a woman OF
brilliant mind and determined purpose.
When the House was being polled on
the bill, to the surprise of members and
spectators, Hszen vote1 against it, and
was then and there asked why he thus
broke his pledge. He explained, rue
fully and blushingly, that his wife and
he had talked over the bill that morn
ing, and that when he left home, his
wife emphatically announced that if he
was fool enough to vote for a
bill that permitted a woman to I'M
sex herself he needn't come home
again. This raised storm of applause
and laughter, and the balloting going
on resulted in the defeat of the measure
by vote of LAT to 81. It is true every
where, that the strongest opponents of
woman suffrage are women.

would work If he could live comfort
ably and crafty his ambition without
working. He knows that without
labor he cannot exist or will not achieve
some object he has set out to attain,
hence he works, and not because he
likes labor nor because he can convince
himself that it is a pastime. The man
who teaches that labor is not the lot of
mankind, is a demsgogue, who seeks
BY deception to live in idleness while
others work to support him. He knows
he teaches false doctrine: he knows
that If 1t we're not for mans labor the
vice would at once become extinct, yet
he plays upon the credulity of his fell
lows, that he may prey upon their
purses.

The Democratic Reformers held their long
announced meeting in Frederick on Thursday
night. The Reformers propose holding meet
ings in all the counties in the state, and their
professed object is to work within the party.
If they do that, and in calm and truthful
way show Democratic voters where abuses
exist, and urge them to take an interest in
politics and attend primaries and conventions,
they will do the party service. But to have
any weight with the rank and file, they must
so act as to dispel the suspicion that their
object is to break down present leaders and
substitute themselves; and to give their state
ments any good effect they must show less
feeling and vindictiveness towards other Dem
ocrats. There can be no reason where pas
sion has sway. Abuse is not argument, and
is indicative of sense of weakness.
